Iβm not sure if itβs the same there as here but markets do seem like a hard nut to crack. I donβt even apply to them because most are outdoors and with my health issues it just wouldnβt work. I know itβs disheartening but you will find your own path, something that works for you.

Watching Avatar: The Last Airbender series on Netflix and I kid you not one of the actors is part of one of those βCherokeeβ groups I mentioned in my earlier post. Was he hired over an actual Native actor?

Itβs honestly super weird. I know some people do it for money and status. Others I think feel so disconnected they are desperate. But yeah itβs like they forget all the generations after that ancestor that just married white Europeans lol

As for the harm, for one itβs teaching a history and culture to others that they donβt really know. They also often take advantage of jobs and scholarships that should be going to actual federal tribal members. The take resources away from people who need it.

I donβt know the details of all of them, but many have tried to get recognized and donβt meet the requirements because we are talking about mostly white Europeans with one ancestor from the 1800βs.

Truly. Mine was denied because a baby was illegitimate even though a grandmother wrote to the state trying to get her on the rolls. It was a very sad time and then the Trail of Tears hit. You can see how that pain affected my family for generations.

My mother and I were just talking about that. If you ask someone to name a tribe chances are good Cherokee is one they say. Iβm not sure how that came to be. Iβd love to know. Itβs probably a combination of things.

No, this is a very good question because it can be complicated. I think in the case of people who have one ancestor from the 1800 and are mostly white European itβs either for money/benefits or a deep feeling of disconnectedness.

Iβm not trying to call anyone out. I was recently reminded of a state tribe here in Georgia who are no more Cherokee than I am. One ancestor from the 1800 isnβt a claim. Iβm proud of my heritage but I donβt claim to be Cherokee.

Pretendians and fake tribes undermine the rights of Indigenous people. They are tangibly harmful. I just wanted to put this out there for anyone that might not be aware.

Did you know there are more than 200 groups that claim to be Cherokee? There are only 3 federally recognized tribes, the Eastern Band in NC, the Cherokee Nation in OK, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in OK. State tribes donβt meet the requirements to be legitimate.
